          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:16):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Emergency Services. With the start of the fire danger season in the Mount Lofty Ranges today and given that currently there is a level 4 alarm bushfire burning at Kyeema near Willunga, a level 1 bushfire burning at Kuitpo, a level 3 bushfire burning at Woolshed Flat in the Barossa and a level 2 bushfire burning at Mount Pleasant, can the minister assure residents that recommendations from the AFAC Operational Audit of the Sampson Flat bushfire have been implemented and, if not, why not?</text>

          <by role="member" id="3123">The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:17):</by>  I think I have actually answered this question previously when I tabled the report, and also in my response where I indicated that a number of the recommendations were implemented immediately and that a number of the recommendations required a number of agencies to work together. But there was nothing in that report which actually would suggest that we had to change anything dramatically in the way we operate. I am very confident that our emergency services can handle any matter that comes before them.</text>
